  1. 3-Week National Park Tour (w/ pics)

    So we’re one week into a national park tour and general outdoors vacation, starting from Texas and looking like this: New Mexico: Hyatt Regency Tamaya (Albuquerque) Colorado: Mesa Verde National Park Imogene Pass (Ouray) Utah: Arches National Park Fins and Things (Moab) Wyoming: Grand Tetons...
  2. My JT is a freakin’ Transformer!

    Ok, maybe not THAT big of a deal, but I thought this was pretty cool! I finally got the hinges I needed to swing the cross bars and basket up out of the way for better bed access. It’ll still take some tweaking to get it just right, but you definitely get the idea! All I have to do is...
  3. Cell booster vs personal locator beacon?

    I’ve got some budget to spare and a long road trip with national park camping and hiking ahead for me and my family. I’m looking at either a cell booster or a Garmin Inreach as a way to stay more connected when I’m further from civilization. Obviously one is more useful for everyday stuff...
  4. Billie Bars + JCR > chocolate + peanut butter

    Here’s a test fit of the @JcrOffroad Universal Basket on top of @BillieBars w/ molle panels. I feel like these products were made for each other! I’m planning on adding a hinge to the forward bar so that the whole basket can swing up and out of the way for loading and unloading. Here’s what...
  5. Aftermarket roll up covers that work with Trail Rail?

    As the title says, I’m looking for aftermarket roll up tonneau covers that are compatible with trail rails, primarily because the ORM cover is so expensive. And if anyone has experience with a roll up and DIY rails, I’d be equally interested in hearing about it. Thanks!
  6. Do air compressors get hot enough to be a fire hazard?

    So I’m thinking about installing a Smittybilt portable air compressor behind the rear seat, but it’ll be a tight fit (if it fits at all) and will likely touch the plastic and/or upholstery. What’s the risk of interior damage? And even more so, what’s the risk of fire?
  7. Mid-height rack vs crossbars

    I’ve been researching a lot of options lately to increase my storage capacity for a family camping road trip and had finally decided on Billie Bars with some sort of basket like the JCR universal basket. When I priced it all out with molle panels, it came out to more than a mid-height rack, and...
  8. How would you spend a $1k Amazon gift card on Jeep stuff?

    Let’s say you hypothetically received a $1k Amazon gift card. How would you spend it on Jeep stuff? I kind of find myself in that situation right now. I’m thinking either a winch or a rack, but I probably don’t have enough for both and rack selection on Amazon is very limited. the tube doors I...
  9. Roof rack vs bed rack vs hitch cargo carrier

    I’m looking at ways to expand storage for a road trip later this year and exploring roof racks and cargo carriers. I feel like I’ve identified the pros and cons of each, but I’d be curious to hear what y’all are doing and why. Here’s what I think are the pros and cons of each. Seems like most...
  10. Planning a family-friendly national parks / wheeling road trip

    After not vacationing last year due to covid also because we got our first Jeep, I’m planning a 3-week road trip vacation that looks like this. Starting from Dallas... 2 nights Santa Fe, NM 3 nights Durango, CO 3 nights Moab, UT (Arches National Park) 3 nights Grand Teton National Park 4 nights...
  11. What Jeep stuff did y’all get for Christmas?

    Were y’all good this year? Assuming nobody got coal, what cool Jeep stuff did y’all get for Christmas? I’ll start... I got an early gift - a new bumper! It’s the steel EBay OEM(ish) bumper. I anticipate a few more things as the morning unfolds and will update accordingly. How about y’all!
  12. What’s the big deal with the Bestop Sunrider?

    Not trying to crap on it. It’s a serious question. It’s not that hard to remove the freedom tops. Only takes a minute. So what makes the Sunrider so great? The one advantage I can see is that you do it from anywhere without having to worry about storing the panels, but it seems like a tonneau...
  13. Texas Sport S wheels w/ stock tires

    I replaced these tires/ wheels at 2k miles and they’ve never left pavement. They’ve got 95% of the life left in the tires and the wheels are actually a pretty great choice for just about any paint color except gator or Gobi (I’ve got a Gobi). Asking $500 for all 4 tires/wheels and the unmounted...
  14. Jeep stuff on your Christmas wishlist?

    Just got my Gladiator less than a month ago so I don’t have many accessories. So I’ve added a lot of things to my Christmas wishlist. Floor mats Grab handles Bed liner Flashlight mount Cargo net Door sill guards Cplay2air Silicone license plate frame What is on y’all’s lists? I’m partially...
  15. Surprised by the amount of rake on the my Max Tow

    I installed Rubi front springs, Rubi front shocks and a Teraflex 1.5” leveler on my Max Tow today without doing anything to the back. As best as I can tell, I got 2.5” of lift. Maybe even a tad more. But even after all that, me truck is now just level. Maybe even a tiny bit of rake left...
  16. Does the mopar steel bumper extend further than the plastic?

    So I parked in the garage for the first time tonight and I had less than an inch of clearance to close the garage door. I’m still using the plastic bumper. Would the steel bumper be bigger? I’m concerned about getting the garage door closed if I even breather on this thing. This is kind of...
  17. What additional skid plates should you have?

    From what I can gather, all Gladiators have the same underbody skid plates from the factory (not counting the bumper skid). If that’s wrong, please correct me. However, if true, what additional skid plates should I be looking at to cover my bases or am I already good to go for light or...
  18. My wife took the Gladiator to pick up our daughter from Grandma’s house...

    So we’ve only had the Gladiator less than 3 weeks and it’s become mostly my daily driver, but my wife does like it. So she took it a while ago with my older daughter to pick up our younger daughter from Grandma’s house. This is probably the third time she’s driven it. Anyways, she’s been gone a...
  19. Aftermarket fenders that look like Rubicon?

    Not any time soon, but I’d probably like to eventually install Rubicon fenders to add some clearance. I really like the simple OEM design over aftermarket options, but they aren’t cheap. Are there any aftermarket out there that resemble OEM yet are more affordable?
  20. What do you keep behind the rear seat?

    Doesn’t seem like much space. I tend to forget it’s even there. What do you all use it for? I know audio components go back there, but what else?
